I’m very excited for you!! Did you do a hotel package?

Of course! Just the usual place at Dockside. I prefer modest accommodations

Stella/Terra seem overpriced to me. Once the newness wares off, i imagine prices will stabilize to something comparable to Endless Summer

I think they are the equivalent of aventura so should be priced similar to that. They are supposed to be one step up from endless summer but with the suites that endless summer has they seem a better deal to me. The fact that Stella Nova and Terra Luna have nothing but two queen rooms is a real oversight imho. I mean aventura has family suites too. Cabana bay has them. It’s just dumb because I’m sure other families besides mine must like that space.

IMHO - They look exactly like Endless Summer rooms. They have a lot of the same issues as well. These are definitely “value” hotels

Okay, a small update: i figured since this was a special occasion and Universal was already going to be getting plenty of my money already, why not do a little more splurging and upgrade to Cabana Bay?

Does anyone know how far in advance you need to reserve a lane at Galaxy Bowl? Also, are you allowed to bring your own ball?

Cabana Bay is considered a value hotel now, same as Endless Summer. So pricing should be pretty close to the same as Dockside/Surfside. I picked a random date to check, and a similar room was the exact same price.

Yes, i was pleasantly surprised. The price more of less split the difference between Dockside > and < Terra Luna

Lately, I’ve been finding CCBR rooms that are only a $20 more than Endless Summer. It’s a good deal at that price

They book 2 weeks out at a time. I don’t know for sure, but I don’t think they would care about you bringing your own ball. They didn’t seem too attentive when we were there.
